Books vs social media;

While books foster deeper cognitive processes, critical thinking & sustained attention,

social media is fun & informing, yet can lead to shorter attention spans, shallower engagement, and poor moods due to its addictive design and exposure to fragmented, polarizing content.

So true, For over 15 years, top military leaders have publicly stated that global warming is a serious threat, impacting military operations & infrastructure. Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and resource scarcity create vulnerabilities and instability that the military must address.

Integrity refers to being honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Leaders with integrity practice what they preach and own up to their mistakes, as opposed to hiding them, blaming Biden or making excuses.

Acknowledging each positive item that has truth or integrity is vital because it builds motivation, fuels resilience, and reinforces the belief that efforts still matter.
